An artist of transcendental intimacyWhen perceiving the artistic creation of Frank Kortan we are down, if we
want to apply the methods and clichés of classical art history. We have
to turn to the newest spiritual and theoretical conceptions from various
fields of anthropology. We are led to it by honest intentions to get
into the aesthetics of Frank Kortan. The inspirations of artistic
creation of this painter are near to the surrealistic aesthetics of free
imaginations and associations, the experience of subconscious and
nonconscious defined by Freud. But not everything created by Kortan can
be explained in this way. According to him antitheses cease to be “real
or imaginative”; he is a follower of the relativity of existence. When
contemplating of Kortan’s artistic creation we remember the words of
André Breton from the Second Manifesto of Surrealism. He says that the
aim of a surrealistic activity is to define “a certain spiritual point
from which life and death, real and imaginative, past and present,
notifiable and unnotifiable, high and low cease to be perceived as
antitheses.” Kortan’s everyday motives express his love of dreaming
which has been named “via regia” - nonconsciousness.
